He said the city ensured a
joyful and safe Lunar New Year holiday for residents, noting that local
agencies and authorities promptly set to work immediately after the holiday.

The chairman announced that the
People’s Committee will conduct an inspection of operations at all public
offices of the city, in order to prevent delay in handling documents,
especially in sensitive fields such as planning and investment. The city will
also accelerate the launch of more online public services, focusing in the
fields of justice, labour and social affairs.

Other tasks include the planting
of trees to realise the target of 1 million trees along streets and in parks
and public places, and the development of diverse tourism products.

The capital city welcomed nearly
375,000 visitors during the week-long Tet (Vietnamese New Year) festival from
February 14 to 20, including 120,000 international tourist, up 13 percent and 30
percent, respectively from the same period last year.

The local tourism industry estimated to earn
more than 1.28 trillion VND (56.5 million USD) during the biggest holiday of
the year, up 19 percent year on year.-VNA
